Thread: Resizing Thumbnails

Resizing Thumbnails

Hi,

I just bought your theme yesterday and i'm very happy with it.
I don't know about coding, but i'v been exploring it and i made the changes as i wanted.

But, I need help for:

1. resizing the thumbnails in front page and in ad page

2. taking off the word "price" in the front page, when i change the code in the index page, the thumbnails disapear - i already took it from the form and it's working ok

3. how do users post videos? i tried to insert in the description an embed code but it doesn't work - even with the allowed html

If you could tell me how it is it would be great help.

Thank you and sorry for my english.

Hi Maria-

If you want to change the size on the home page you'll need to edit the index.php page and search for

Change those width and height values to something else. If you make them much bigger it might offset the rest of the rows though.

If you want to remove the column head "Price" then you can also find that in the index.php file. Search for

and either leave it blank or put something else there.

For embeding videos the option for html needs to be set to on. Then you need to paste the correct type of code into the description box. Here's an example straight from youtube:

It's not the standard url in your browser that you copy and paste in. It needs to be an object like above which is usually provided by most video sites now in a small "Embed" box.

Good luck!

Re: Resizing Thumbnails

Hi again!

Thank you for your answers and i'm sorry for taking your time.

Regarding the thumbnails, when i change the code in the index.php (img_resize.php?width=50&height=50) what happens is that the image gets bigger but inside a square, just as you make zoom - it doesn't show the all image.
-- is that supposed? i would like to show the all image with width=100&height=100
== should i change someting else?

As for the price, i didn't explain myself clear. i would like to take it off from the bar. when i change the code the word "price" stills there.

I tried to ad a video, and the HTML is set on, with the embed code, but it doesn't show up. Is there anything else that has to be done?

I would really appreciate your help as these are the last issues to get my site as i wanted.

All the best

Maria

Re: Resizing Thumbnails

Hi Maria-

It seems you will also need to update the stylesheet height and width to 100 as well. That size is actually quite big and I don't recommend it. That spot is designed to be for a small thumbnail. See the below image as well showing you how it looks after making the change. You'll also need to change the width on the other columns to prevent overlap.

Search for this in your .css file (/css/ folder depending on which theme color you are using) and make the change if you'd like to see how 100 x 100 looks on your theme.
.main_page_img

To remove the "Price" text, just edit index.php and remove the following code:

For videos like youtube, you need to use the embed code (assuming your "allow html" classipress option is set to "yes"). See the screenshot below for more information. Hope that helps!

Re: Resizing Thumbnails

Hi there, I have changed the index.php file and also the master css file in order to change my thumbnail to a 100x75 pixel size. However even though the column and surround of the image have changed to reflect this size the image itself is still constricting to the 50x50 original size? is there a third place I need to change this?

Re: Resizing Thumbnails

Can Anyone else give me a hand on possible getting to the bottom of this larger thumbnail I wont to correct? Ive edited the index.php and master.cc files to make the changes and the surround of the image gre fine to these dimensions but the image itself did not change at all!! anywhere else that it is needed to change?
